As the first of its kind in the Southern hemisphere, MOUA will act to highlight reef conservation, restoration, and education on a global scale. The site located on John Brewer Reef is rich in history, with a strong connection to our indigenous culture and marine tourism.

The Coral Greenhouse – first submerged building design by world-class artist Jason deCaires Taylor is is a bucket list trip no one should miss! The greenhouse, which many people think of as glass walls filled with fruit or flowers instead boasts a beautiful mix of art and science. Trees, life-like sculptures, and coral gardens make this staggering 72m structure a wonderland for divers.

With plenty of reef nearby to explore and depths ranging from 1 to 20 metres, it is ideal for snorkelers, beginner and experienced divers. On the reef, schools of bait fish are common as well as an abundance of colourful reef fish. Turtles, Stingrays, White and Black tip reef sharks are often sighted.

Great family trip with teenagers to explore and experience the Great Barrier Reef. Great boat and crew who made it a great experience. Expect a long (2.5 hr) ride out to the Reef from Townsville. We saw lots of marine life and cool underwater statues. Would do this trip again!

First of all the agency did not have the information if this trip included a scuba dive for non-experience dives. They took more than one day to get back to me and gave me the wrong information. They said yes, I could go (I did only a couple of dives, never done a course). But when I got there, the operator crew said they were not informed there would be a non-experienced diver and they had to staff to accompany me. Also, the company I called was based in Sydney, the trip was in Queensland, but they charged me in American Dollars. The price doesn't let it clear, it only says "$". Definitely, I do not recommend it! It was the worst part of my trip to Townsville/Magnetic Island.
